ГThe Mexico-US Border during the Mexican Revolution in the Context of the Issue of Compliance with the Principle of Neutrality

Download
A. Manukhin

The article analyzes the involvement of the United States in the events of the Mexican Revolution in relation to the situation on the border of the two countries. Based on archival and published sources, it shows how socio-economic, legal and military factors influenced the decision-making process by officials in Mexico City and Washington, as well as non-state forces represented by rebel groups. It is noted that among the tools for achieving foreign policy goals and gaining advantages over opponents during the revolutionary struggle, there was a constant appeal to the concept of “neutrality.” The rapprochement of the United States with the constitutionalist movement in 1913–1914 and the search for reducing the risk of war between the two countries in 1916 stand out as hallmarks. It is emphasized that due to this, Mexican-American relations were a complex combination of conflict and mutual interests.
